    Sharpened set of Craftsman butt chisels and a new set of Narex bench chisels. I easily achieved a razor sharp polished edge with my DMT stones and Norton 4000/8000 water stone. This a great product for the weekend woodworker.

    Best Uses

    • Sharpening

    Comments about Veritas MK II Honing Guide :

    I want a simple device that I can use with sandpaper, stone or whatever I have. I don't want to have to do a set up. This works perfectly. Take it out of the tool box, grab an abrasive and in a minute the chisel or plane iron is ready to use.

    • Strong
    • Works Effectively

    Cons

    Best Uses

    Comments about Veritas MK II Honing Guide :

    This thing is amazing. Solid, heavy-duty construction that feels good in your hand. The registration jig looks complicated at first, but use it once and you never have to refer to the instructions again. Comfortable to use. Makes a tedious chore easier, especially for a beginner!
